No bug Can't render Twitter card anymore

Hi,

Just renewed Och.Graph (1,8.1). I run Joomla 3.10.2. I have problem with the Twitter card, it's  not rendered properly; it won't appear, even though I haven't changed the parameters.

Cleared cache, tried enabling and disabling the plugin, no luck so far. Is there something in addition I need to do here?

Facebook works fine. 

Best,

Hi Vassilis,
thanks for reaching out.
I have checked the page and I see that the twitter card is created and on the page (just like the OpenGraph tags)
 
What I did notice is that when visiting your site I first saw a page that was 'validating' me as a visitor, maybe that functionality is blocking the twitter bot? [see attachment]
The twitter bot is responsibe for fetching the preview: looking at the error message the cardvalidator is giving is that the twitterbot is receiving a different page (not your intended page).

Could that be the issue?
Also can you edit your robots.txt to allow the twitterbot (not necessary anymore I believe, but maybe that helps):  

Hi, Ruud,

Thanks for this. Yes, checking the browser might be the issue; But for the time being I need to have this, since we are investigating malware. No, the twitterbot thing in robots.txt didn't help. I can come back when we de-activate the browser check

Thanks Vassilis,

let's have a look or confirm when browser checking is turned of.

Ok, cloudflare checking browser settings were lifted off; Twitter card validator works fine after all.

Thanks for the help!

Cool,
thanks for the confirmation Vassilis!

Ruud.
